It’s been a long time coming, but today, Electronic Arts has finally rolled out an iPhone port of Wolfenstein RPG ($4.99), a first-person role-playing game set in the Wolfenstein universe.
Developed by id Software for J2ME cell phones, Wolfenstein RPG comes to the iPhone with nine levels, 32 enemies, and 16 weapons. Also included are two minigames: “Kick the Chicken” and “War.”
EA’s iPhone version of Wolfenstein RPG has seen a number of delays and setbacks since its initial reveal at E3 in 2008. The most recent delay came as a result of Wolfenstein creator John Carmack’s iPhone port of Wolfenstein 3D, which arrived in the App Store in March without prior announcement. EA chose to delay the release of Wolfenstein RPG to avoid potential confusion between the two titles.
Curiously — and in direct contrast with Carmack’s iPhone port of Wolfenstein 3D — Wolfenstein RPG omits all Nazi references and imagery present in the original game. Kotaku has more details and relevant screenshots, including a look at Hitler’s stylish new soul patch.
That’s why you cannot beat Lord Carmack.
Hey EA, keep making games with stereotyped characters….it’s better for kids to think all latinos are criminals than showing any kind of nazi reference. Oh, wait….this game isn’t for kids, right ? WDF then !?!??
